 So, I stopped somewhere at a campground.... I think it was New Mexico. It was cheap and there were bathrooms. But it was hot and I was really on the edge. |  |
okay, real talk.... I was quickly melting into Austin. I had a mild breakdown in Sweetwater, TX.... I was so way overheated.... For folks who don't know, I am a kidney donor... so I need a lot of water to stay healthy. Also, I have always been prone to overheating... I was so way too overheated driving through the pits of hell that call themselves TX. Also, it's really hard as a heavily tattooed unicorn to be in TX because everyone stares at me all the time. Despite the occasional woman at a 7-11 who was PSYCHED to see a tattooed woman, I just can't handle the (bless her heart) attention.
But after a talk with my mom (mom is always good for a talk! <3), I decided to try to get my AC fixed in Austin (big trucks. Fords, they have to be able to fix it!).
I pulled the driver side shade and stopped every 90 mins for water (something harder than it sounds based on the previously mentioned freak show factor). I made it to Austin where I stayed with one of my best friends, Kris and his amazing family. This was such a sweet respite. The joy of old friends is that you can just pick right back up. His family was amazing and easy. We just chatted and then fixed the previously effed solar system and walls! It was actually really fun. Kris and I work so well together, having previously built an apartment together. Unlike the previous folks I worked with in attempt at fixing my solar, he knows I am competent.... He assumes competency and we talk things through.
I installed the dead bolt so no more fear of bears!

After many many days. We finally figured out what was wrong, and now I have fans and a water pump wired in! It literally was an hour before I left....
I am so grateful for that time in Austin. Kris and Family (including the monopoly game!) were just what I needed!!!
